When I first got my liscense, I had the pleasure of having an Avalon as my car. I always kept the ECT on and hit 5000-6000 RPM's under my normal acceleration...and put 35,000 miles on that car that way.
Once it became my mom's primary car, I told her to keep the ECT off (to save gas) and she rarely hits 3000 RPM's. When I get in it now, the ECT is usually off, but is sometimes on, as she will hit the button sometimes when merging into bad traffic.
With my driving, the car got 25 MPG combined...with hers its 32 (using premium...subtract 5-6MPG from those figures for regular unleaded)
